We had a very friendly welcome from the excellent manager. We had the spacious family room for 2 of us, but it would be more than adequate for a family of 4. Excellent value for money in a very nice area, close to the beach. ##### Clare Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deb 28 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We love staying at the Aarangi- stones throw from the beach.

We flew in from the US and she was able to get us into our room early so we could recoup after the long flight before heading into Auckland center to see some museums. Access to everything was easy from here and the coastal road is especially beautiful on a clear day! Would definitely stay here again if we’re back in Auckland! ##### Tara Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [ibis budget Auckland Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Auckland-Airport.h9144904.Hotel-Information) > > [The Dixie Dean Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-The-Dixie-Dean-Hotel.h37226564.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Auckland Queen Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Mercure-Auckland-Queen-Street.h63852488.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Hotel Auckland Wynyard Quarter](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Travelodge-Hotel-Auckland-Wynyard-Quarter.h48652636.Hotel-Information) > > [Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Cordis.h8072.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Havana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Havana-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d1432-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Naumi Hotel Auckland Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Naumi-Hotel-Auckland-Airport.h10062481.Hotel-Information) > > [Avani Auckland Metropolis Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Avani-Auckland-Metropolis-Residences.h6374088.Hotel-Information) > > [The Villa Levens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kendal-Hotels-The-Villa-Levens.h36327062.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Emerald-Inn.h6317232.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Derry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Londonderry-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Derry.h897389.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Breakfast in Manchester City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-City-Centre-Manchester-Hotels-Hotel-With-Breakfast.0-n6192111-0-thotelwithbreakfast.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [a&o Brussel Centrum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brussels-Hotels-The-President-Brussels-Hotel.h27272.Hotel-Information) > > [Alta Moda Fashion Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels-Alta-Moda-Fashion-Hotel.h2390029.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful 4 bed lakeside lodge in the Cotswolds.
